Operation Under Field Control
To obtain a linear field ramp, a magnetic sensor such as a Hall probe is placed in the air gap along with the sample being
tested. The sensor is connected to a Gaussmeter. The output of the Gaussmeter is used to correct the programming input
to the power supply. In this way non-linearity can be corrected. Lakeshore manufactures probes and Gaussmeters for this
purpose.
